over areas to the uses they were capable of supporting prior to mining activities, and replanting them with native trees and vegetation unless a conflicting land use is implemented. Through clear, measurable standards, it would promote operational accountability

now underway. Once completed, in 2017, both concrete structures will be buried under two to three feet of soil and native vegetation . As part of the overall LA River revitalization project in association with the US Army Corps of Engineers. Next up this

060 gallons of oily water have been recovered from skimming operations. Crews on land have removed 310 cubic yards of oiled vegetation , 760 cubic yards of oiled sand and 2,610 cubic yards of oiled soil. The EPA and U.S. Department of Transportation

utilizes green infrastructure in a targeted and sound engineering manner to reduce these overflows. Green infrastructure uses vegetation , soils and natural processes that mimic nature to store rainwater water where it falls to control wet-weather pollution

temperatures; improving the efficiency of irrigation systems ; and implementing prescribed grazing to relieve pressure on stressed vegetation . NRCS is also leveraging partner investments through the new Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) to put further

pump has a maximum flow capacity of up to 7 m3/sec Having a vegetation - covered roof to blend in with the environment, the station ..... winning: the Cambie Road pumping station, including a vegetation covered roof "We are constantly looking at sea levels and

enhancement projects can involve creating more fish passages, changing water flow conditions or stabilizing stream banks with vegetation . Focusing on these three areas, "you get a mix of what can be done at the project itself, whether it's the turbine or spillway

power, energy saving occupancy sensor lighting controls, a high-efficiency zone heating and cooling system, a living vegetation roof, and ergonomic workstations with access to daylight. See also: " Calgon Carbon awarded second major contract for South

be able to monitor water and energy fluxes while peering through a variety of potential obstructions, including clouds, vegetation and different surface elements. SMAP is the last of five NASA Earth science missions scheduled for launch within a 12-month
